Vocation Directors Retreat

For many years the Institute for Priestly Formation (IPF) and the National Conference of Diocesan Vocation Directors (NCDVD) have shared a close collaboration in providing spiritual support for priests who serve in vocation ministry. As part of that collaboration, IPF has provided an individual silent-directed retreat specifically for vocation directors. The NCDVD no longer hosting the retreat has meant that we are pleased to continue our service by hosting this retreat for vocation directors.

The retreat time consists of:

  • Daily one-on-one spiritual direction
  • Retreat silence
  • Four personal prayer periods throughout the day
  • Communal celebration of Mass
  • Meals in silence
  • Chapels and grounds for prayer as well as space for rest

Dates

  • January 17 - 22, 2027 (Five-day Retreat)

    OR
  • January 17 - 25, 2027 (Eight-day Retreat)

Location

The retreat will be held at Grand Coteau Retreats in Grand Coteau, Louisiana. If flying, the closest airport is in Lafayette, Louisiana (LFT).
